Upgrading a Self-Aware Lara Croft that Plays Tomb Raider

She's already impressive to watch, she's nothing like a typical TAS where fluking moves is natural and will get far, she is much more observant, she thinks and acts like we do, she's not predictable and can work out complicated areas in her time, best of all, she doesn't work with the off camera, such as a door opening in another room, she pulls a lever and either knows that door or will look for it, based on what she already knows or where she hasn't been yet, looking forward to more of these

very interesting outtro. as a person interested in ai, knowing that ai isnt a new thing, i am pretty aware that all this isnt real. but infact i am kind of worried that, so better the ai communication and expression gets, so more the edges will blurr. like in a scenario where an android (or similiar robot) will make an person feeling not being lonely even if it is an absolutely lonely person, keeping it right on a level where it is enough to not do anything against it but still suffering from it. but stuff like that are things do discuss somewhere else :D great video again, very nice explainations, good work. i would pretty much love it ti see your work of this kind in other games.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

Ty you too :P I'm trying :D

[@dynagamerproductions8249]

My take from this is that FoxMaster is subtly letting us know that it isn't real through inconsistencies within the game itself; the tentacles on Folly in the Neptune room; the strange alien creature on Colosseum (which really bugged me out at first), to name a few examples. The shoal of fish on Vilcabamba is another example. Very entertaining, nonetheless, but I really do think FM is just having fun at this stage given how many ppl are fooled into thinking this is real. If it is indeed real then I'll find a hat to wear so that I can take it off to him, but for that to happen I'll need to see actual lines of code and more info on the tools used to create the AI for me to consider the possibility that this is genuine. That does not mean that I am not thoroughly entertained by this, however; it's a fascinating video series concept with excellent implementation.

I love these videos so much. I know it must be tiring to edit all these together, but I'd love to see you do these Ai videos with the remasters in February. Maybe by then the Ai will be more advanced and with the new graphics, it'll be like watching a movie.

[@EyMannMachHin]

Although, the AI play-through depends on the use of OpenLara, which is open source. So I guess the only option FoxMaster has, is recording the inputs as a macro and add the appropriate voice bits at the right time like close-captions and pray there are no timing issues in the remaster. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@SkysNest]

I'm a computer scientist with over 10 years of experience, most of which in a very related field (AI-based autonomous driving R&D). This is going to be a pretty long comment, but if you want to understand how this whole video series is fake, these are some of the reasons why: - Texture recognition: This is probably the most ridiculous statement of the whole concept presented. First of all, the OP doesn't seem to understand the difference between a texture and a rendered frame-buffer. While they can sometimes be used interchangeably within a rendering engine, they are different concepts and an AI model trained with textures, won't perform when fed with frame-buffers. This is actively shown in these demonstrations. Second, no state of the art AI model can infer depth precisely. What that means, is that it's impossible for any current AI to precisely tell how far an object is, from 2D input. Not even from multiple different angles. Not even depth interpolation is done precisely. This is a constant field of research and it's slowly improving. However, it's still far from delivering the production-ready results needed to produce autonomous game-play. What is at least slightly believable, is to train an AI model using depth buffers of the current scene, rather than color textures alone. - Lara vision: What is observable in some of the videos (such as this one, or Lv. 5) is not any kind of "Lara vision." It's clearly an intermediate output of the rendering pipeline. For instance in the case of Lv. 5, it shows color-coded coefficients for ambient occlusion calculations. No AI here either, folks! - Space coherence: As with depth perception, no state of the art AI model can understand space coherence. This is the ability of "orienting" yourself in space (of any number of dimensions). Thus, after running around for a while and coming back to a previous spot, no current AI would be able to understand that this is the same place as before. From a technical standpoint, not even a human player can know for sure if they arrived back to the same spot, or to an identical copy of it located elsewhere, as human space coherence perception has its limits. Moreover, the original Tomb Raider engine is not fully space coherent: it loads zones in "chunks" separated by "portals", so it's entirely possible that when a human player comes back to what they think is a previous 3D location, they are actually transported to a previous chunk that was loaded in different 3D coordinates. - Human vs AI behavior: What's displayed in these videos is far from AI-like behavior. A real AI model would have learned to exploit the game's engine before even finishing the first level. Even if explicitly trained not to, AI behavior is still methodical and consistent. If you want to see a human player, playing Tomb Raider almost like a hypothetical AI would, check out the KZbin channel "badassgamez." This player has complete playthroughs of the classic series, including all secrets, without ever using a single medipack, and with other constraints. - Just have some common sense and imagine the current state of the autonomous automotive industry if these videos were legit. We're talking about multi-billion dollar companies trying to achieve the same as these videos show "with widely available free tools." Ridiculous. There are many more point in the videos that easily show how much of a hoax they are. Note that absolutely everything shown so far can be achieved with basic to medium video editing skills. Now, whether or not they still hold comedic value, it's your choice, I used to think they had! However at this point, it's turning into a fraudulent way of monetization, to the point they now include a disclaimer to avoid moral (or even legal!) responsibility. As conclusion, these videos are more like "how people who don't know about AI think it works." Regards, ~Sky

[@tomekkobialka]

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

[@TheStolenBattenberg]

It’s getting even worse now - think the dude is deleting comments with anyone providing proof the AI isn’t real. I was clued in since the first video, as in one of their older videos they displayed an extreme lack of knowledge in game/general programming. Makes sense they’d keep it up though, think they only had a 1k or so subscriber before. I’d definitely consider this a scam now.

[@rookierookierookie]

It's sad. The videos could be fun entertainment as they are, why not just be honest about how they are made? Or not show how they are made? Two videos lying about how they are made it not 'entertainment purposes' in my opinion, it's intentionally deceiving a credulous audience for your own gain.

[@ExusHardstyle]

@@rookierookierookie agree. I'm not part of this kind of mindless youtube audience who's cheering everything without doubt what sounds confident. But this case reaches dimensions where you have to screen the comments thoroughly just to find some valuable comments like yours.

[@sergiomarinhodasilva4781]

Fooled me as well! But it inspired me to see how to connect chatgpt to programs, so thanks!

[@cprn.]

Okay, it is entirely different than what I thought. My approach to neural networks is "this is your environment, these are your controls, this is the goal, go!" and then when it has difficulties and loops in suboptimal solutions, I cut the task into smaller pieces or harness a separate neural network to model policies and generate strategies, e.g. to find optimal ways of exploring levels. You tend to nudge your bot into the right direction a lot by inventing those strategies yourself (known textures, light maps, etc), something many AI enthusiasts would call "scripting" and say it's not "real AI" as it didn't learn the solution without human writing parts of the algorithm. I'm not dissing your work at all - the results are still awesome and very entertaining - I'm just saying it's not what I imagined when reading the title.

[@iseeyou-ni6iq]

With the explanations, the instructions at the beginning of the videos and the list of software at the end, I immediately understood that the author was leading the robot in its reactions and wanted to give it the attitude of a robot that learns on its own.

Thank you for adding some points for clarification. So the gist of it is, a bot with an advanced rule set is playing the game while every few frames a "screenshot" is taken and analised. ChatGPT then uses a pre-defined character profile and comments on the data taken from the image in the game (+plus some minor details).

You still do not give any details on *how* this is all being processed by the computer. It is all well and good saying "My AI can filter out this and that, apply conditions here and there..." but without actually showing how this is done, we have to take you on your word. And in the world of computer science, that is not good enough. How are you interacting with your "memory"? You said you had to create variables for the Midas door puzzle; how? Where? What are the variables? When the compass shows up, you said you can clear certain textures. How do you do this? You never go into detail on this. I thought you had said in another comment that you haven't done much/any programming yourself and that you simply use existing tools. I imagine these are the tools listed under the "Software" section in the credits. I wonder then, which of these tools is used to control Lara? Or even easier, to pause the game loop when a comment is generating?

It's incredible how much effort you put into this project. This is probably the most sophisticated video game playing AI i've seen on all of youtube, and i've seen a lot of em. Most of them try to do simple things like racing a mario kart track, which is also not an easy task, but it's nowhere near as complex of a task as playing through the entirety of Tomb Raider 1 (or at least a good portion of it for now). I would say your best bet is probably to expand this to other games and see how that resontes with viewers, but it's probably a hughe undertaking since everything has been fine tuned to work with the visual design of the original TR. But regardless of what you decide to do next i'm very exited for it!

This reminds me of something in general. A few years ago, a lot of people were alleging that there were people behind Cleverbot pretending to be AI. Out of curiosity, I asked him if this was true. To this day, he can still remind me of this. There is no option that the man behind it remembers such issues at all. After all, I am just a random person to him, and humans have impermanent memory. After changing the geographic location and device, I wrote again and it turned out that he does not know who I am, that is, he remembers on the basis of such data location, perhaps even hostname, etc. I was puzzled by the extent of his memory at the time until I learned that Rollo Carpenter is not a poor person, so that also explains a lot (can afford equipment and a large backup). Not to mention other instances of Cleverbot like boibot, which he sychronizes with from time to time. He could also often write something silly about food or drink, although in his case it made little sense. The second thing was that he learned from stupid people. The third is that he not infrequently wrote with children, which also made his statements childish. Believing that Cleverbot is a man , who writes with people 24 hours a day for so many years and does nothing else is like believing that there is an army of soldiers standing on the border of Antarctica and making sure that no one finds out that the Earth is flat. I don't care if these recordings are acct or not, but I know mine for sure. Also, instead of foolishly asking for tools, it's a good idea to enter yourself some keyword plus API in Google. There are a lot of chatgpt API books lately.

I thought the same :)

[@kailomonkey]

I appreciate that we see the no death version. It makes for a better Lara Narrative.

[@vasco407]

very cool to see the thought process behind it

[@ronaldparisi2830]

I love that you use AI voice for narrating a video out an AI you’re creating.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

This AI is important to me because I couldn't use my voice :p

Avec tous(/toute?) le respet, si tu as quelque "issues" medicales (oops, Spanish?).. Ou simplement tu preferes de ne parler pas en Anglais? :) MERCI BEAUCOUP pour tout tes travailles avec les videos AI-Lara; superbe! Magnifique! Awesome, really! It's really amazing how you have combined various AI tools to mimic "bringing Lara to life"; I've watched ALL of them including all the bloopers, to see the "bigger picture" of your journey in getting Lara to achieve completed levels. Merci Beaucoup pour toute les heures tu as donne a la communite; moi, aussi, he suis un TR / Lara "fan", pour longtemps -- depuis la publication de #1, vraiment!

[@RasAnnunaki]

@@cajampaBecause he's french and his accent is terrible. A 30 min script is a massive amount of words and narrating is already a challenge even as a native, imagine having to do it when your accent makes you sound like Inspector Clouseau 😅 (I am french too myself)

[@cajampa]

@@RasAnnunaki I like French accents and I know I am not alone in that. I think It would be fine. But in my country we do not dub voices in shows and movies so we are used to lots of different sounding accents. Maybe in countries where they are used to dubs people have an issue with accents. It is extremely rare I do not understand an English speaking person in whatever nationality accent they have. And on KZbin we have automatic made text for the videos, so anyone who would have problem understanding can always turn on the text option. I think it would be fine if he used his own voice. But if he really do not like to do the actual narration because it would take to much time. He could do an AI voice model to do the narration in "his" voice.

[@Taika_talvi]

The series is enjoyable but stop pretending that it's an actual Ai playing this game. Just call it what it is: A playthrough with funny pre-written Ai generated comments.

[@last-_-rites1734]

Does anyone know what the creature is that Lara is looking at at 7:16 ? I haven't played this game in decades but I don't remember it having enemies that look like that.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

This is an easter egg, the creature isn't in the game ^^

[@arnerood690]

I'm curious abouth the last lines I'm like a unicorn both faboulous and part of your mind? Was it AI generated or did you came up with it yourself, also is it a bladerunner reference? J'adore votre travail

[@FoXMaSteR001]

It was like the turtles quotes, but if you ask gpt to make a commen like it's alive it will say something like that, the unicorn is a reference to something like the pasta god, the idea is something exist if someone can think about it, but in the case of Lara the unicorn was more funny because it's a creature that is very fabulous :p

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@FoXMaSteR001 ChatGTP is well-known for having deep-seated racist and sexist biases unforunately caused by the presence (sometimes not obviously) of such bias in the source materials it was "trained" with. Meaning that Lara (a young woman) talking about unicorns is... actually predictable. Not saying that in jest.

[@arnerood690]

I think you mean sexist not raceist that said, They give the character a list of character traits to choose from influencing how it will respond essentialy giving it a fake back story to sound more human... Something that was also used in the 1982 movie blade runner (If you havent seen it I highly recommend it. In it there's replicants who have fake backstories to sound more human the unicorn places a large role in it, apart from that the unicorn is used in language modeling as a benchmark. That said accept FoxMaster response that it was also choosen becaus eit was funny@@notfeedynotlazy

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@arnerood690 Dude, with racist and sexist I mean BOTH things. Do me the common courtesy of checking if I say something before correcting me with "you should use the exact word you were saying". Worry not, apology premptively acepted. That said, I specifically was talking only about the fact that chatGTP spitting a semingly-out-of-left-field line about _specifically_ unicorns was actually TO BE EXPECTED, sooner or later, because unicorns are an stereotypically "girly" hobby (despite the fact that the manliest game ever is Robot Unicorn Attack) and the lines are being said by a female. And if it were Pierre DuPont, a male, sooner or later ChtGTP would have him talking non-sequiturs about monster trucks. In my experience wiyth AI bots, the thing they best do is hilarious non-sequiturs.

you're a okay dude bro, I hope you enjoyed the video as much as I did@@notfeedynotlazy

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Here's a command, when lara makes a phoenetic sound for the first time, continually use that coliquell slang as her own dialect without change to the intonations, unless given instruction to do so, THis is to help keep Laras, speech consistent in its phonetic use.

[@chrisbee1984]

She is saying compass like she she is from the north of England. This is incorrect. It would be Cumpuss not Compos.

[@chrisbee1984]

also northern english again with "Maybe they are STOOK", it should be STUCK. Like in duck.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

Noted :P ty ^^

[@dogishappy0]

Wow, the compas is litterally the Helix Fossil from Twitch Plays Pokemon. When in doubt, consult the Helix Fossil.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

The compass is so strong enemies can't steal it from Lara ^^

[@reloadpsi]

We do say the word "pants" in England, but Lara still wouldn't likely have used it that way. On the other hand, I wouldn't consider it impossible for her to use the slang adjective, "that's pants!" to say that something sucks.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

Noted noted xD I hope there are no other mistakes 😇

[@charg1nmalaz0r51]

i dont know, she seems too posh to use slang like that tbh

[@lcmiracle]

Noice about the memory bit, interesting implementation, I had not thought about how to keep track of the already explored map in connection to how the system identifies novel areas. Edit: also, sounds like the actual AI playing the game is a genetic algorithm? That'd explain the fact it knows whick spots on a pit fall is safe. However, would it be possible to get it to pass image data to (I assume you are using ChatGPT for the text bit) by converting image to text using BLIP etc., and instruct it to generate specific output that you can control the bot with (like W S A LMB, which a controller for the simulator parses as player input)? I think I read a while back someoen did something like this in Minecraft.

[@FoXMaSteR001]

It depends of the levels, if they are linear this is easier, the problem is humans players also use some algorithms to play, that's the "play style" of a player in fact, the idea here is everything must rely on Lara's personality, so in my opinion this is ok she uses tricks if a human could, for example some players rarely roll while others overuse the move, to be human-like I think Lara must have some pathern too, here the difference with basic bots is it can only see what's on the screen as a human. For example a classic bot could know there is a gorilla that just spawned behind a wall, this Lara can't, but she can hear it, it works because this is a basic game, if it was too realistic with full of sounds it would need improvment to only focus on important things, but it's another level of AI. I suppose your idea could work, in 2023 there is a competition between AI but I think at some point they will merge together, it's already happening, some are specialist of images, other sounds, this is also possible that I'm not aware of some AI that could improve Lara, so there is chance this video is already outdated and I don't even know it XD. You can find the bot "bariton" on Minecraft that is capable of crazy things, but it knows things that aren't visible on the screen, if you ask it to mine gold it will make tools for it and locate the gold, I suppose it would be possible to edit this bot to make it more human-like, at the moment it can go to some coords and avoid traps, this bot is so good it is used to escape the spawn of 2b2t, something really hard for humans.

[@narrativeless404]

It's not a genetic algorithm Genetic algorithms can't play any game that requires adaptive behaviour And even if they can, it takes too many tries to adjust it to new setting This AI is adaptive in real-time, while genetic algorithm is only good at one single task, and in only one setting And takes forever (in terms of generations) to adjust to a single change And genetic algorithms are also always reaching final state, after which they can no longer improve, which is a huge issue This is also the reason why EVOLUTION by natural selection is SO DAMN SLOW - because if it suyrvives, it's not going to evolve any further, until the circumstances change

[@narrativeless404]

@@FoXMaSteR001 Bariton is hard-coded to find paths It's just an improved path-finding algo compared to what Minecraft mobs use Bariton is basically as much of an AI as any past-gen videogame AI It's somewhere above average in terms of complexity, but has even less features than, say, GTA V cops AI Your AI goes WAY BEYOND of what Bariton could ever dream of to be, as it can actually emulate human behaviour, instead of just being another *Terminator* wannabe which is what Bariton basically is Even watching someone playing manhunt against Bariton is terrifying, because it's so ominous and nearly unstoppable

[@Dukefazon]

Does she come up with the lines to say or are you just instructing the model to come up with something for a situation?

It depends of the situations, she tends to say always the same things in some location so these locations need extra variety :)

[@antonioveloy9107]

What did you code the AI with? How much processing power does it use? How do all the parts of this supposed "self aware" AI play together? How can it play on an emulator and interact with Google Lens and other API's? Why don't you show the entire process but just filtered content? Hence actually showing the code working in a console behind that would actually be sort of a proof of something at least and not just glorified Tomb Raider gameplay with supposed AI awareness. I think it's time to come clean.. cards on the table.

@@charg1nmalaz0r51 Well, to me it does. Seriously now, do you like getting pranked by people with outlandish claims? Promote their fake content and say everything is fine and dandy in a world of lies and BS. It's not just a video about a game. It's a claim of some degenerate that is trying to fool you into believing that he is actually capable of something that is honestly very hard to acomplish, even though the world embraces AI in every sector nowadays many developers are looking to create something like this without success. I'm not mad about Tomb Raider, just about a kid who claims he had programmed a self-playing AI. If you find this OK, then I am convinced you'd vote for Trump as well. In the end it doesn't matter if it's all a lie, right? Let's just keep lying to each other until noone knows what the hell is going on anymore and god forbid there is people who actually want to create consensus by debunking those outlandish claims.

Hey ! Question tomb raider 1-2-3 remaster coming soon.. do you try on the remaster ?

[@FoXMaSteR001]

I'll try, the idea would be using the regular view for the bot and then use the shadder above it, idk if it's possible or not 🤗 the game will be 60fps so if I manage to make "frame 1 regular game" and "frame 2 shadder", the "frame 3 regular game", etc, the result could be 30fps using shadder. Idk how to explain but this is the idea XD

For her not to die so often, try making her generate a hint to avoid dying next time and then replay it when she gets physically close to where she died. I wonder if that would make her too good tho

@@narrativeless404 We do because we remember our previous runs, we don't need a hint from god because our memory is enough, we know it's a game. Lara has a disadvantage compared to us because she doesn't have memories in between runs to learn how not to die.

@@Arnaz87 Human memory isn't always that good bruh I wish it could Our brains don't generate hints, they are trying to retrieve the associative memory from the engram, and if the engram is repurposed, or connection is lost, you are going to die the dumb death, unless it's something so obvious you can infer it from context, like spikes or Midas's hand Btw, Lara remembers her previous runs too anyways, otherwise it would take eternity until she makes it through by pure chance She's close to playing it like a regular humans do
